Net Juke: The New hard drive-based stereo systems from Sony

In what many may think is a well overdue move, electronics company Sony is bringing the mini stereo into 2007 with the new Sony hard drive based stereos.

The Sony NAS-D55HD, NAS-M75HD, and NAS-M95HD are the newest models that bring Sony stereos into the digital age.

These Sony stereos come with the capability to CDs or MDs directly to the hard drive. They also have a great LCD screen which is fairly large, plus two USB ports for connecting to your computer or media player. And to top it off Sony had added ethernet jacks for incorporating the stereo into a network!

Sony have made the stereos in 80GB or 250GB sizes and you can get a digital amplifier with the NAS-D55HD or alternatively you could get a full digital S-Master amplifier with the NAS-M75HD, NAS-M95HD.

Sony is making these new stereos available in late October for roughly $530-1100 with the Sony NAS-C5 coming out November 21st for $260.

What do you think these new Sony stereos will be like?

Has Sony taken too long to upgrade its stereos to the “digital age”?
